The Ørnes-family has for generations owned a large mountain area in connection with their farm at Mæl by lake Tinn. This mountain area was in the old days known as the Kvitåvatn area, today the central part of Gaustatoppen. If you are fishing in lake Kvitåvatn, hiking around Djuptjørn or Krosshovd or skiing in Vatnedalen you are using the area belonging to the Ørnes farm.
The Ørnes-family ownes and runs today Kvitåvatn Fjellhytter among many other activities. It is also possible to buy a building plot from the Ørnes family. Some of the plots for sale are located where the old mountain farm used to be.
